If you are a pro, you know the answers. If you are not a pro, don't worry about it. Work on your own game and things like this will answer themselves.

There is no simple answer. The answer will be different for each casino, and the answer sometimes changes based on the games they offer, their comp policy and promotions, their dealing and shuffling procedures, the equimpemt they use, heat, etc. There are times to use a card and times not to. You have to decide when it will help you and when it will hurt you.

The card only has the information that you give to them. That may or may not be accurate.

Short answer

Yes. Get a Comp. Card. Refusal to produce one sends the wrong message to the pit crew and they are much more likely to take notice if you happen to start adjusting your bets, even more so if you start winning.

Its a bigger deal at the higher limit tables. If you are only at the $10 tables, take your pick. Additionally some casinos will limit your bet spread if you play as an unrated player, not good. At a $100 table, proudly show your comp card like any other big spender, the pit crew will not blink. If you refuse, like I did one night at New York, New York, LV, you will have a visit from a Casino host, then The Casino Manager. NOT GOOD!! You will likely have your play immediately tracked by the eye in the sky, and have that HD snapshot taken to figure out who you are and what your doing.

Just show the damn card just like the ploppies; no one blinks until you refuse to play the game, their game.

Draw as little attention to yourself as possible. In the Casinos mind, you want all the freebees you can get with the card, and to refuse is suspiscious. It just doesn't make sense, why everyone else wants to be comps for rooms, food, beverage (RFB), "what's the guys deal" they will ask.
